Title:
TARGET DEVICE FOR PINBALL GAME
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS51137535
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A target device for a pinball game, including a plurality of independently pivotal score or target indicators mounted on the playing surface for pivotal movement about a generally horizontal axis. The indicators each are movable between a first generally horizontal position on one side of the axis to a second generally horizontal position on the other side of the axis. A U-shaped yoke is mounted for generally vertical reciprocal movement by a solenoid armature mounted below each of the indicators so that one arm of the U-shaped yoke will contact the indicator in its first position and the other arm of the U-shaped yoke will contact the indicator in its second position. In one form of the invention, energization of a solenoid will cause its U-shaped yoke to move upwardly to contact the respective indicator to move it from its first position to its second position or from its second position to its first position, depending on the position of the indicator. In another form of the invention, a lockout switch is mounted adjacent each indicator and operated by the indicator when in its second position to prevent operation of that solenoid until all of the indicators have been moved to the same position on the same side of the axis. A lockout override circuit is provided to prevent operation of the lockout switches and can be operated either manually or automatically when all of said indicators have moved to the lockout position.
